 I took a long weekend and after 5 weeks of sanding the body was ready. Then a coat of primer, I’m well happy.
I have one run on the front right fender/arch but apart from that all is good
There are a couple of nasty bits, but I might let them go.
Every panel is home made, and there are no ripples or uneven bits.
 I guess the car is 43 years old so it wouldn’t make sense for it to be dead flat. The passenger side door was really bad, that now looks great, the bonnet was hammered at the front, that to looks cool.

 All in all well happy

It's good to see someone modifying a triumph - the time put into sorting the panel gaps has paid off!

What a transformation! If Triumph were making cars today I could see them building something like this.

You really are an artist with the welder. Looks like a modern version of a classic design. Well done!
